| Decision |
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the decision of the High Court of Balochistan which had dismissed the petitioner's application for admission to Bolan Medical College. The Court found that the grounds for denying admission were not sustainable since the petitioner's siblings, who also received education outside the province, were granted admission. The Court directed that the petitioner's application for admission in the next academic session be considered, stating that the reasons previously cited for denying admission would not be applicable. |
| Summary |
In the case of Miss Bibi Farzana vs. Selection Committee, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the issue of admission to Bolan Medical College. The petitioner was denied admission based on the argument that she had not received her education in the province of Balochistan, as outlined in the college's prospectus. The Court noted that the petitioner's siblings, who had similar educational backgrounds, were admitted, highlighting a discrepancy in the application of the admission criteria. The Court ultimately ruled that the reasons for the denial of admission were unjustified and ordered that the petitioner's application be reconsidered for the forthcoming academic session. This case emphasizes the importance of equitable treatment in educational admissions and addresses issues of residency and educational qualifications. The decision underscores the need for consistency in the application of admission policies across similar cases, ensuring that all applicants are treated fairly regardless of their educational background. The ruling also reflects on the broader implications of educational access and the rights of students seeking admission to professional colleges. |
